Short Take: NEC aims to double PC server sales in Europe

Counting on strong demand, NEC intends to double its PC server sales in Europe, to 12,000 units, over the 1998-99 fiscal year. The Japanese company announced its goal while introducing systems based on Intel's new Xeon processor, including the eight-processor 180Ha model, Reuters reported. NEC will begin selling the 180Ha in Japan in September, and soon afterward in Europe. NEC plans to sell 10,000 servers this year in the Asia-Pacific market, up from 6,000 last year.
